In fedora 19 I solved the problem by un-checking the "use colors from system theme" checkbox in the edit/profile preferences/colors pannel.

Fedora configures ls
to use entries of the 256-color palette if your $TERM
is set accordingly; see your $LS_COLORS
variable and the /etc/DIR_COLORS*
files. On gnome-terminal's UI you can only configure the first 16 of these.
That is, probably the blue and green colors your ls
produces are simply not the "standard" blue/green colors, but one of the "extended" ones.
Have you tried opening a new terminal after making changes? – demure – 2013-05-21T02:33:39.750
yes, . .bashrc and even rebooting the machine – meem – 2013-05-21T02:39:24.100
Minor correction, I think you mean $TERM set to xterm-256color. You shouldn't need to restart or reboot anything -- for me with the same setup the colours change straight away. – mavit – 2013-05-21T11:47:00.347
